Yochana,
The yolk is made of Chin Chow ? What about the yellow "filling". What is that ?
The skin, I believe consists of milk right ?

Very creative leh, is this from the mooncake book by 1 Publisher or Y3K ?

Hello Yaha,

Yes the black part is chin chow, the white part is fresh milk mixed with some coconut milk. The skin is milk with lavender.
This is not from any book. It's my own creation.

Yochana,

I think it's time you start collecting your own creations and publish your own book :)
I'm sure it will be the top seller.

Aunt Yochana,
Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I can't wait to experiment it.
What is Chinchow called in Cantonese or Manderin? Hope I can get this ingredient from USA. Thanks in advance.
